Just testing who's on the ball for Ruskin Social Media

Dear Students and Jackie,

 I hope that you are enjoying the course! I have found you all to be a lot of fun to work with and it's been great to see so many of you make real progress on the course.
Remember to keep going over the skills taught until they become second nature.

 I hope that you have some joy with Instagram today and that you are able to play around with the photographs taken yesterday.

 I should be there from lunchtime onwards today when our aim will be to tidy up our work ready for printing. If time, we could look at some basic photography editing skills. If time we will begin with the basics of YouTube. What a superb site YouTube is and now your Google account will allow you to configure and play with your own YouTube profile. You can make playlists, arrange videos in folders to watch later or watch again. And, of course, you can make your own channel - call it what you like (although if you called it BBC5 then you'd be contacted by our own public service corporation!)

 The next post will explain how to print off your blog as a PDF.

  You will all be required to do this by 3pm

 See you later,

 Mike

My first post on social media

In the next post I will put up the course aims and objectives: A B C D. It would be a good idea to read these, ask yourself what we have done to cover them and blog about any progress that you have made. You could always tweet about it and put a link / embed your tweet on your blogger page. Below is the link for the fun social media terms as shown to you yesterday: Social media is  http://www.smart-words.org/abbreviations/text.html We also covered strong passwords with tips such as: 1) Phonetic spelling 2) Phone numbers 3) Numbers as letters       Make it something memorable from your life.               For example, if I have a pet called "Flossie", I might use Fl05513! The exclamation mark would be me imagining that...
